mysql-query

I am using CakePHP for a price-comparison website.

I have a table products with fields: id, pride_regular, price_action.

I would like to combine the fields price_regular and price_action into a dynamic field: price. The lowest value of these two fields should be the value of the new price field. Also I want to order on it Ascending.

Should I use a custom MySQL-query?
